Stuff you should have done, but didn't.

Accepted the (with hindsight obvious) advances of the mum of one of my fellow pupils that we ran into on the last holiday I went on with my parents.
Well, I've waited long enough and it seems that nobody else is going to ask it; so I'll do it. Would you? Well, obviously you didn't, but you know, would you?

I saw a really nice waterproof jacket in a hiking shop a month ago, with 70% off, yet I didn't buy it. The offer has now ended.

I wish I'd done something useful at school instead of A levels and University.

If I had been tee-total from the age of 18 until now, I'd probably have £10,000 more in my savings account.

Whatever the case, who knows if all of these decisions would have made our lives any better.

Never tried. But know a few people who did the training and during the jungle phase were not accepted.

LEJOG in 9 days. Got injured, time will pass and I'm almost certain I'll never get another go at it.

Blimey I thought you were older than 19.

Not bought a house in the village of Dent, Cumbria for £12,000 in 1996 (it would have been a bit of a stretch but still...) that went for almost £300,000 the year before last!

I had an aunt and uncle who lived about 100 miles from us when I was a kid. They had a piano, and on the couple of occasions a year that we visited them (we had no car, but dad was able to borrow a company one occasionally) I would "play" the piano, in the way that kids do. That is to say I would just bash random notes loudly and irritatingly.

My aunt wanted rid of the piano, and offered it to my dad, for me. But moving it would obviously be a hassle, so my dad said I could only have it if I agreed to have proper lessons.

Like an idiot, I said no.......

I now play guitar and ukulele, and have dabbled on keyboard, but can't really play one. Maybe my musical life would have been very different if I had chosen more wisely on that day in nineteen sixtysomething.....
